NOWHERE TO RUN - A Novel
Daley, Robert
1996 19974 NYPD detective Jack Dilger is drifting way out of his jurisdiction. He suspects a society art dealer is fencing stolen old masters to Colombian drug traffickers and starts to follow their trail. Then suddenly he's ordered off the case. He defies his superiors, and finds himself risking his marriage, his career, and his life. Hunted and unarmed, Dilger retires to the south of France - and discovers a single, vital, unlikely ally. Inspecteur Madeleine Leclerq of the Police Judiciaire in the city of Nice uncovers evidence of corrupt politicians looting the city. She too is blocked by superiors. She too pushes doggedly on. Then Madeleine encounters Jack Dilger. Rejected by their profession and stalked by mortal enemies from their pasts, Dilger and Madeleine are now outsiders. International law enforcement can't or won't help. Amid the splendor and sensuality of the French Riviera, and almost against their will, they will find a haven in each other's arms. And test the limits of their mutual trust as they hurtle through a cycle of menace and survival that becomes more addictive - and more dangerous - with every move they dare. From The Critics New Yorker A writer of fine craft and understanding. Philadelphia Inquirer Daley givesyou a milieu that has intrigued writers as far-flung as Trollope, Dickens, Conrad, Simenon, Graham Greene, and on several occasions, Daley himself: the troublesome world of the big-city cop. San Francisco Chronicle Robert Daley's strength as a writer is his understanding of how cops think, feel, and act. Publishers Weekly Returning to the southern French setting of his novel The Dangerous Edge (1983), Daley (Wall of Brass) crafts a crisp and intricate thriller about two detectives and two police systems that, for all its high-spirited writing, turns seriously dark at the end. Detective Jack Dilger has alienated some powerful NYPD superiors with his freewheeling ways. When his bust of a crooked art dealer and a couple of Colombian drug agents turns into a disastrous shootout, he's forced off the job. In immediate peril from the surviving drug dealer and with his marriage crumbling, Jack takes off for the French Riviera. There he hooks up with former Nice inspecteur Madeleine Leclerq, who herself has been forced out of her job, her case against some crooked politicians and industrialists quashed from on high. Jack and Madeleine begin an affair and soon realize that each is being stalked by enemies. Daley's leads are likable and believable, his French local color is first-rate and his complicated plot turns, buoyed by tension and splashed with violence, work beautifully. The ending isn't happy, but it rings true. Daley, once deputy commissioner of the NYPD, again proves that as far as cop novels go, he's still the top brass around.
